Mad Men is the compelling drama about life in a prestigious and ruthless New York City advertising agency. Set in the early 1960's, a time when sexism, homophobia, dubious family values and misogyny were rife and smokers were enjoying the last guilt free years of the cigarette, Mad Men (an affectionate term coined for those working in the ad agencies) opens the doors to the inner sanctum of Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency, a place where everyone is selling something, and nothing is what is seems.
